New Figure Development | Toy-making. Plus, what even IS binary?

I'm working on this space figure with swappable parts, hoping to design some molds for plastic injection. We also take a look at some wooden figures I made a few years ago. (These have all been sold or given away. I only have a few rough blanks left.)

Ok, good news everybody. I didn't cry. That part where he was showing of Craftson's work was CLOSE! You know where you realise that Craftson is immensely talented and then you realize just how caring and supportive Craftsman would have to be, and then you are forced to face the the fact that he is too wholesome for this world and we don't deserve him.. Yea, that was close.. but I made it. *sobs uncontrollably*

Crafsman my guy, don't worry about posting videos every week if it means you're being less productive. We wanna see all your new experiments and inventions, and it's totally okay if that takes more than a week. A month, two months, half a year, we'll still be here :) I'm excited to see what's coming! Cheers :)

I literally read your “limb-ited” at the exact moment CRAFSMAN said it in the video.

Good morning! I love when you show up and make things bright.

[@5hirtandtieler]

In case anyone is curious about “why 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc”: it’s because those are powers of 2 (2^0, 2^1, 2^2, etc). It’s specifically 2 since each column “rolls over” at 2, much like our usual system rolls over at 10. Similarly, our base-10 would have the columns: 1, 10, 100, 1000, etc (for the same reason as 2).

[@SimplyDudeFace]

Oh my. I have had the same binary joke at the top of every binary worksheet that I have handed out in my computer science classes for the last 10 years. Love it.

[@soberirish83]

The binary joke reminds me of a favorite of mine. “There are three types of people in the world. Those that are good with numbers and those that aren’t.”

[@FixedGearFox]

If anyone with editing skills out there reads this, please make a Crafsman intro supercut. I would, but I can barely use KZbin comments, that would bring immense amounts of joy into the world. Truly Crafsman, you are the Bob Ross of KZbin.

This is a balm for my soul and I smile through the whole thing every time. My mind looks a lot like that too! Just in case you don't know, there is a spooky cryptid that looks a lot like your long legged version. Lots of people who know about the cryptid might be interested in buying one.😊

Hi Crafsman. I’m probably in a long line of people who say thanks each day. Your channel came at the right time. When I am all fussed and stressed about my life, worried about my staff and our thousands of our vulnerable clients...especially now... I watch a video or two and I can smile again. I realize that you must be stressed too, but what you do is a magic frontline health service. Thanks for using your superpowers for incredible good. God bless you, Crafsmama and Crafson. I hope you all stay happy and healthy.

[@clockworkconcatenation375]

I absolutely love your voice and Personality. I stock up your videos for late nights that I can't sleep since your content's helps mentally soothe me and I'll be able to sleep again in no time. Of course once I finish the video.

Can I suggest adding a little stick on the back of the "outdoor spaceman's" face that passes through to the back so you can turn his face. I think it would add a lot of character with the face you already have.

[@knoptop]

...it's that little Devo hat magnet for me. 👍

[@machineman6498]

Craftsman is the kind of person with the same interests AND has something to show for it. Big credit on the follow through. But on another note, take a look at a lot of toy parts and you see even small parts are really two part. So a torso can be made in two shots. Maybe they do it to avoid shrinking. Quick swipe of acetone on both parts and that magnet is pretty much trapped.

[@kbowler9266]

It's always good focus on a project. It gets you into the mind set of what you really want to do and how to go about it.

[@corndogattheendofthepool]

Crafsman, you have helped me so much these past months. Quarantine had really aggravated my depression. But you inspired me to make some crafts, and I've been sculpting during my free time. I'm doing so much better than I was before. All because I've been steady craftin. Thank you

Just have a camera mounted while you make your figures then you still get footage while you make your master pieces! 😉 Don't worry so much about the distracting part of filming because your work is always amazing and tons of people enjoy it! You're definitely a G.I.F.T. to humanity Crafsman and Crafsfamily so really hope you stay making because that's what you do, make, create, craft and inspire many others with your crafting magic abilities!!! Stay focused and the 9 to 5 grind thang will soon be a distant past but made you the man you are today!

You can make the arms separate with a ball-and-socket joint with flexible resin or silicone. I would avoid magnets so that way you could avoid any kind of lawsuits if someone's kid swallows them, not worth it Crafsman.
